The way that Team USA kept letting Spain make runs back into this game gave me a bad feeling.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's something that plagues the USA team throughout the tournament. They turn the ball over a lot, and a good amount of that is the lack of chemistry and continuity that isn't as apparent on the other squads we'll be facing.

They gonna be fine. I heard someone say this US team wouldn't be a playoff team in the West. Really ridiculous stuff being thrown out there. I think the hate has gone too far. I get these aren't the superstars, but a lot of the superstars don't have role player value. This team gonna win gold. They don't have the selfish dudes the team that failed did... they also don't have Larry Brown as a coach. Spain made a bunch of junk time threes to make it closer than it was.

The scrimmage thing was overblown imo.

Yeah I totally agree. Even if they lead the teams in turnovers per game, their overall talent will more than make up for it.

I wonder if Pop will give Fox a little more burn next go around, he didn't see the floor much tonight.

Well, that answers the question...Fox is no longer on the team. Probably didn't like Pops playing White more minutes than him...a little home team cooking. Plus Smart cleared for play. Only one more cut to go before the roster is set.
